Their web designers must be really low quality. Not only do they block browsers based on user agent rather than features, but even when you click "Continue using Classic Mail" it still redirects you to the error page. That's just sloppy web coding.

Sloppy coding by the Yahoos indeed.

But the fix seems to have worked for me even without a browser restart.

I'm noticing that YM is severely crippled though. Many of the links don't work. 'Settings' for example. Inbox no longer updates to show new messages unless I manually refresh the page. I don't know if it's SM or not.

That's not proof that it's anything other than sniffing. The poor coding of the site causing it to stop working with the browser after it determines that the browser is not one of those hard coded as acceptable. The confirmation of this is that the "too old" browser can suddenly be found to be "not to old" just by switching the user agent string.
